POTD: The New M230LF Dual Feed Bushmaster

There’s a new generation of Bushmaster Chain Guns and thanks to this Photo Of The Day you’ll learn of its existence. Pictured here is the M230LF Dual Feed Bushmaster, which can instantly switch between ammunition paths, enabling operators to seamlessly address targets that require different 30x113mm ammunition types. LF is short for Link Fed.

The M230LF Dual Feed Bushmaster Chain Gun is made by Northrop Grumman, and with the option of two feed paths it’s possible to switch between for instance air burst and high explosive, dual-purpose ammunition rounds. One of the uses for this would be if there’s a need to switch between engaging ground targets and aerial targets like drones. I am sure quite a few armies are looking for solutions like this, due to the latest development on the battlefield.

Check back tomorrow for something new and interesting.
